GARMENT-FASTENER HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 30, 1918.

Application filed November 17, 1916. Serial No. 181,888.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERWIN KRAMER, a citizen of the United States, residin at Oarlstadt, in the county of Bergen and tate of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Fastener Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in fastening hooks and eyes for use with garments and the like and more especially to a novel means for mounting the hooks and eyes in place on strips of fabric which can be sewed or otherwise fastened to the garments.

My invention contemplates the use of a folded base fabricto carry the hooks and.

eyes and a covering or facing fabric, which may be integral or separate, to form a composite fabric which may be sewed onto the garment.

The hooks and eyes are solidly mounted on the base fabric at suitable intervals and the covering fabricis then sewed down over the bases of the hooks or -eyes to conceal the same and produce a neat finish with folded edges exposed on the fabric stri s and with the hook and eyerivets conceale in the base fabric.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a face view of my improved hook and eye strip; Fig. 2 a sectional view of the struc-' ture of Fig. 1, taken on the line 2--2-- and Fig. 3 a diagrammatic edge view of a modification wherein the base and facin fabrics are separate pieces instead of being integral, and a flap edge is produced on one member.

' Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross sectional view showing more clearly how the fasteners are secured to the folded base member of the strip.

The base fabric 1 is folded at 2 so that the edge will be finished instead of raw and the same manner. The base fabric 13 is folded at 14: and the eyes 15 are riveted orotherwise securely fastened to the upper fold 16, the part 13 concealing the rivets. The fabric is then folded over the eye at 18 and doubled back on itself at 19 with the part 20 extended rearwardly. Lines of st1tching 21 and 22 tie the parts of the laminated fabric together.

The parts 4 and 6 and 13 and 16 form the base fabrics and the parts 7 and 9 and 17 and 20 form the facing fabrics of the hook and eye sections respectively.

Instead of forming the base and facing fabrics integral they may be separate as shown in Fig. 3 in which the base fabric is a piece having the part 23 folded at 2 1 otherwise tend to pul the hooks and eyes out of the fabric.

By this construction the operative parts only of the hooks and eyes are exposed, the hooks and eyes themselves are securely fastened to the base fabric and the folded front edges of the base and covering fabrics present a neat and finished appearance.

The fold in the base fabric may be carried forward as shown in Fig. 3 to form a flap for filling the joint between the hook and eye strips.

I claim 1. In a garment fastener holder the combination of a strip of material folded ,on itself to form a base fabric, fastenin members secured to the upper fold of the base fabric, the strip then being reversely folded and doubled and extended partially over the fastening members to form a facing fabric and stitching extending through the folded strip to hold the parts together.

2. A hook or eye fastener carrying tape consisting of base and facing members each folded inwardly at one edge, fasteners havin their anchor ends rigidly secured to the fol ded-in portion only of one of the members, and spaced parallel rows of stitching arranged on opposite sides of the anchor ing-members at each side of the anchor ends 1 ends of said fasteners for securlng the base of said fasteners.
